So, had a bit of a torrid day:

1) door handle cable (?) broke - in another thread and will take a look this weekend;

2) EGR failure caused light - been having symptoms over past week and had bought new restrictor plate and gasket for fitting this weekend but did it tonight - went out for a test drive and cor blimey the car appears to have more low down power!?!?! well, not more low down power just no hesitation - seems to come on sooner!?!? Can a simple clean and fit of a restrictor plate do this or is it a placebo effect?!?!?!

If the ERG is not working properly i.e. open all the time then you do loose low down power and a restrictor or blanking plate will return the power because it shuts off the flow through the ERG. If the ERG is working properly it will make very little difference.
